Showing up for work on time is part of my job him carrying other peoples pads is in no way implied by his contract or his work/practice schedule. His coach didn’t tell him to carry his pads his co worker who is not his boss did.
I’m able to think for myself unlike most of you guys which is why I think most traditions are stupid. If you can’t qualify something you do with a better reason then “That’s how it’s always been” then it’s a stupid tradition. Which is the case here.

What a flaming crock of S &%# that is.
Rookies always carry the pads: in the NFL, College, High School. and even in youth football.
He’s just a punk kid who thinks he’s better than every body else. Every safety in the league is drooling at the thought of helping him along with his NFL education LOL!
Where’s Tatum now that we really NEED him!

And i KNOW they have a coverage bias on the Cowboys. And people like yourself perpetuate the situation. You’re not a fan of the Cowboys but i see your name on tons of Cowboys articles. It’s because of of non-Cowboys fans like yourself that ESPN covers them more. You’ve got to be able to see that. They are a lighting rod, and you, closet Cowboys fan or not, are drawn to them.
Like i said. They are feeding you what you want.

Can you see me?
“if you were smart enough to look there before commenting you would have seen that i have commented too. ”
Never said you didn’t. Just said that you’d go to the Cowboys article first.
“nobody outside of DC cares about the Skins? Funny, I live in San Diego. Now what you got smart guy?”
I’m refering to non Redskins fans, “smart guy.”
“Im talking about the Cowbums because its a joke just like the fact that you probably believe they will win the super bowl too.”
You read the about the Cowboys because you can’t keep yourself from trying to make fun of them. You enjoy reading more about the Cowboys (negative or positive) more than you do your own team and it shows.
I don’t believe they will win the Super Bowl. I never believe ANYONE will win the Super Bowl because no one can predict the future. Do i think they have a good shot? Sure do. Vegas is about as non-bias as you can get as far as who is the favorites, the Cowboys are up there with the top teams.
Why don’t you just fess up. You secretly are a Cowboys fan. You love to see what they are doing. You like to read about them. Just break down and become a fan already.
You won’t see me commenting on Redskins articles. You know why? Because i’m not a fan of their team. I don’t feel the urge to comment on anything Redskins related like you do on Cowboys articles.

You’re right. The Dallas Cowboys control the media.
It’s a big deal because it’s the Dallas Cowboys and people like yourself will take the time to read a Cowboys story before you read a story on your own team
The media is just feeding you what you want. Keep eating the grass, cow. Just keep eating that blue grass.

Are you reporting that Dez Bryant had trouble putting on his own pads? This could be the nex big story.
And yes, you are scared. Why else would you be wasting your time talking about the Cowboys? No one talks about the Deadskins cause no one is scared of them. Oh, and no one outside of Washington gives a crap about them.
But you find time to devote to the Cowboys, helping ever so slightly their reason for being the most talked about franchise in football.

like i have said you have been trying to tear this kid down all off-season. And Pads is the best you can come up with?
If you did not look so sad this would almost look funny.
Why not wait until he does not live up to the contract he signed, refuse to do what his coaches want him to do. Or dress up like a Women, and blast his coaches in media. Or even throw a drink in a womans face along with many other charges before you bash the kid?
Maybe you can get your feet wet by bashing your own? Haynesworth, Portis, Johnson?

This kid hasn’t caught 1 pass in the NFL and you guys and the media keep blowing him up, kinda reminds me of KING James, yeah right. Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch. One thing is for sure, the SKINS are going to punch you chumps right in the mouth the first game of the season.

I doubt you felt Haynesworth did anything wrong as well. Corect? You can screw a team out of over 40 million but you better pick up those pads right?
Face it when its come to true “headcases” The Redskins have had many more of those of late.

Maybe if some of these teams were more adult and business like in camp instead of partaking in childish rituals they might have as much success as Walsh had.

Parcells made your rookies get him water during the breaks and none of them got to wear stars on their helmets until they actually made the team.

Hey, maybe Deion can pitch Spike TV on a reality show called “What Dez Doesn’t Know.” That’s gotta be better than that other gem of a reality show that featured The Playmaker.

Hey Mike, your local news in DC is not local news in the TX/OK area. How would have Dez or anybody else there seen it???
Now I’m not saying Dez didn’t know about it, but that is a terrible example. And there is a chance he didn’t know about it. Hell, I’ve been a Cowboys fan since 1976 and I didn’t know about the linemen shaving the rookies’ heads until I saw it on HBO a few years back.
But hey, it’s a Cowboys’ story and I know how you have to chime in with your hate everytime another one is posted. So enjoy yourself. Only 7 more weeks before the Dallas Cowboys knock the wind out of your sails.

The Media has been saying it all along Dez will eventually be Roys’ replacement. and thats why there is Heat..

How do you know to show up to work on time? Some things you just know. Hazing of rookies happen at high school.
Traditions are there for a reason. You obviously have not played team sports at any significant level.
And for those saying Dizzy is showing humility…you do realize he is giving an answer that almost everyone sees as BS…meaning he thinks you are an idiot and will accept such a lame excuse. ie…you have sucker written on your forehead. But you will learn, because Dizzy will go to the well of EXCUSES over and over and over again. That’s just what divas do…it’s everybody else’s fault but Dizzys…sound like TO. Enjoy!

The real question we should be asking: Why does Roy want Dez to carry his pads? Does he feel like he’ll drop them if he carries them himself?
